Lords division · 12 Jul 2000 · No. 3

Regulation of Investigatory Powers Bill

It was moved by the Lord Cope of Berkeley, in Clause 12, page 14, line 23, at end to insert: (“( ) The person to whom a notice is given may refer the notice to the Technical Advisory Board to consider the technical requirements and the financial consequences and the Board shall report their conclusions on those matters to that person and to the Secretary of State.”); which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 25

Contents: 155 Not Contents: 130

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 25 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

How the parties voted

Liberal Democrat 30

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Lord Burnham (Content), Lord Luke (Content), Lord Carter (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (153)

Not Contents (128)

Tellers (4)
